Have to agree (E)SSO, one (other) thing that has really frustrated me this season is KD's reluctance to play youngsters even in the Carling Cup! or earlier FA Cup games, it seems like we buy a youngster a week! Hope we're building something at the academy, but I'd love to see at least one of them given a run for whats left of the season
As I say Kenny's priority is keeping his job short term why would he do that?
Last season he had to call upon Flanagan and Robinson who although were a bit naive were good enough to get a go. Now it is time to look at bringing others in. If one of the youngsters comes in and saves us £10m on a new player or is good enough to mean that we sell Adam on then he has done his job well. If he just keeps picking the same players who for one reason or another cannot perform for him or cannot play to instructions then he has to go and there is no job to save anyway.
This is still not as bad as under Hodgson...... nowhere near. I understand people being frustrated at not giving the kids a go in the Carling Cup but did we want to win it or go out in round 3? Now with the Prem there is nothing to lose. The FA Cup is there for the taking against anybody if our players are rested properly.
With the Euros and Olympics we could be starting next season with very jaded players if we do not let them get some rest now.
Next season started when we lost at home to Arsenal... or should have done.
